two notes on this: a.) while this might not make me friends: Lithium may be able to pull of both: a.) a very microkernel framework that comes without much tools and with a "loose frame" (thus bad for newbies and bad programmers like me ;-p) and b.) a standard set of "addons" "extensions" "plugins" whatever: data sources/object mappers, filters, authenfication, access control, etc.
Why do I say this? Rails 3 did this (Though the basis of Ruby implies different contraints, some very positive other rather negative) (More on that topic on the rails website under screencasts, Rails 3 Screencast Series, the screencasts show the decoupling of the frame- parts (read framework parts) and the great "Arel" :)). So I could very well imagen Lithium and Lithium+, though on the other side of the coin - if there will be no Lithium+ in the long run - I do not see it becoming much more popular than ZF though. b.) I do not like "general" OSS wars, they just consume time. Instead I want to ask a question: Afaik Lithium is committed to some php library standard definitions. Will Cake2 share those? And if that's the case: can you see combined use of both, parts of them and/or integration? p.s: While I do not like php 5.3s syntax, its hard to read, I do not see why to stick with <5.2 if 5.3 offers some real performance benefits. I love that most of the cake's source is easy to read and understand, great spirit. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
